About Us

Our Mission

Cancer Bridges supports those impacted by cancer through a variety of free programs and services.

Our Philosophy

Cancer Bridges provides a warm and welcoming environment for everyone who has been impacted by cancer. This includes those with a cancer diagnosis, those who have a loved one with cancer, or have experienced the loss of a loved one due to cancer. The diagnosed, family, friends, and caregivers who support them are welcome to join Cancer Bridges and receive the social, emotional, and informational tools they need.

Our History

Cancer Caring Center was established in 1988, dedicated to providing free emotional support to cancer survivors, their friends and loved ones. Our Clubhouse was established in 2006 as Gilda’s Club of Western Pennsylvania. In 2014, Our Clubhouse became an independent nonprofit in order to remain focused on our mission to offer free social, emotional and wellness support to those in our region touched by cancer. In 2021, Cancer Caring Center and Our Clubhouse joined to become Cancer Bridges.

Testimonials

“Thank you for having Ava and Addison at camp last week. Derek and I were so thrilled that they could be a part of such a wonderful experience where they could not only connect with other kids touched by cancer but also make so many special memories. Addison said it was "the best week of her life!" We all got so much out of the week and are so grateful to be a part of such a supportive community.”
- Ali, member, and mom of two 2021 Camp Clubhouse participants
“Thanks again for coordinating the Radical Hope event! It was such perfect timing for me. I have been having a really hard time getting back to being positive and not living in fear. What a blessing this program was! I went out and got the book right after the first session and I am starting to get my mojo back. You all gave me hope when I needed it most.”
“The support group really helped me to see that my grief was normal because it felt so different from what I saw within my family. To be able to connect with others who have dealt with loss like I have really felt comforting & affirming.”
- Katie S.
“Due to coronavirus, my mother’s pancreatic cancer surgery was postponed this week because of respiratory issues. I joined the Imagery & Energy Hour and it helped calm me down and feel so much better surrounding everything with my mother. I am so grateful for the online programming.”
- Marylin C.
“Thanks so much for arranging the Reiki sessions. I could feel the instructor’s energy last Tuesday. It was nice to take some time to relax. It was a great stress reducer! I greatly appreciate these sessions.”
- Kathy M.
“I love the new virtual calendar—activities are keeping me very healthy and busy. I feel so much better simply just hearing Our Clubhouse staff members’ voices.”
- Dana K.
“I don’t think I would be in the good position that I am right now if it was not for these support programs”
- Keith, Metastatic Cancer Thriver
“I can’t overstate how important the free counseling was for me there was no way I was going to spend even more-of my family’s resources on my disease.”
"Having the Our Clubhouse virtual community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has changed my life"
- Nicole C.
“A weight is lifted off my shoulders. I feel like I can focus on myself now.”
